Reflections

Let's see if I actually achieved any of these possibly achievable goals. It's only been 8 months so don't expect much. I like to stretch my goals out until I forget about them.
1. Write on this blog more than one more time. - Well, it happened more than once.
2. Write on this blog more than once a month. - But not this often.
3. Keep going to the gym multiple times a week. - Definitely did this pretty often in Corpus...until fall came and then it slowed down drastically.
4. Take more pictures.- Nope, I even made a resolution to take a picture a day in 2010. I have taken 2. On the same day.
5. Learn to use other features on the camera besides the automatic button. - Nope.
6. Clean and use the FILM SLR. - Didn't clean but I did take it out of its case and take a couple pictures.
7. Take a sewing class. (I meant to type sailing but this sounded like fun too). Caitlin taught me a little about sewing. That counts.
8. Go camping with Rick more than once. -
Just once and not until we were back in Arkansas9. Don't kill the dogs on camping trip. - They survived.
10. Take a sailing class. - Took a sailboat out once. Tried to convince Rick not to tip us over.
11. Keep cooking (and eating...duh) -
Cooked a lot and ate a lot. Homemade bolognese sauce. Delicious12. Keep sneaking more and more veggies into Rick's diet. - Homemade bolognese sauce has more veggies in it than our regular no meat sauce. Hahhaha. He loves it.
13. Grow something. - Failed miserably. Killed four plants.
14. Go fishing - nope. Bought rick a fly fishing gift certificate.
15. Take a seafood cooking class at the aquarium (ahhh, the irony).- didn't happen either. I did go to the aquarium 7 times.
16. Go to sandcastle building competition- Nope, but our friends taught us how to build an awesome sand castle.
17. Do a successful hurricane evacuation.- No hurricanes. I was disappointed.

18. Volunteer at the CC Science and History Museum. - We toured it one day, including an exact replica of one of Christopher Columbus's ships down to the wooden "nails" and building methods.
19. Purge more of our stuff. - Apparently we lost 900 lbs between Corpus and Little Rock and I have a box of stuff in the garage to get rid of.
20. Love Rick more (just cause I know he will read this and I'm a sweetheart
Ongoing.

Not bad if I do say so myself. And I do. Now I'm subbing and continuing to get settled in our house. I know you want pictures, preferably not when it's a mess. I'll see what I can do.
